    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[TC shows Chaucer&#039;s ambivalence about the language of courtly love; he uses it denotatively with romantic meaning yet reveals its duplicity through Troilus&#039;s idealism, Diomede&#039;s cynicism, Pandarus&#039;s manipulativeness, and Criseyde&#039;s combined sincerity and irony. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Looking at BD, HF, and PF, Robinson examines Chaucer&#039;s relations to his masters and his dilemma in connecting books and imagination with actual life, in creating puzzles for the demands he felt &quot;of the poetry of the poem.&quot;  Chaucer&#039;s dreamscapes are weighted by conscious and conscientious concerns to meet those demands.  Chaucerian irony attains, in PF, a &quot;means of discovery&quot; wherein the great masters are not a burden but a beginning, whereby the poet attains mastery.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Chaucer involves his readers in a romancelike quest of introspection. By way of infinite regression, they encounter first the text, then a reading character, and finally themselves. The process encourages both Socratic self-knowledge and pleasurable Narcissistic self-absorption. TC, BD, HF, MLT, MerT, WBPT, and NPT receive the most comment.]]></dcterms:description>

But here and elsewhere Chaucer challenges assumptions of consistency between word and meaning.  In making the first use of &quot;tretys&quot; refer to Mel and the second to its source, Chaucer encourages readers to think of the relationship between word and meaning as a problem, not a given.]]></dcterms:description>
